Correct, Clay became Ali shortly after the Liston fight, I think London fought him a few years later.

It's not a bonus in the conventional sense. Ashley takes no other income from the company, he doesn't even draw a salary from it. If the company hits pre-agreed targets then he gets well rewarded, if they don't then he doesn't.

Hilarious coming from you. Unless you consider that pop-up, make an unproven comment and then play forum hide-and-seek constitutes constructing an argument.
Freedom without Socialism is privilege and injustice. Socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality.

Wasting your time. The shareholders at SD seem to be on top of the situation even if random internet posters aren't. No smoke and daggers or BS bombs. All pretty transparent as far as one can see.

Steve Jobs took a salary of $1 a year from Apple when he went back.
No doubt UNWISEC would offer Jobs a huge for that.
But the details behind that were that he was getting billions from being granted shares. He even had his booty spanked because of an illegal share option he signed off on, if I remember correctly.
And, oh yeah, his employment contract also gave him a fully expensed company vehicle to use as he pleased. That company vehicle just happened to be a Gulfstream private jet. I don't know how much they cost back then, but they go for about $50m now.
My point ever since I got involved in this thread that it's not the headlines that matter, it's the details.

And if you read the comments, only 2,000 of his 18,000 staff are eligible for the bonuses.
The other 16,000 are on zero hour contracts.
But obviously, details like this make no difference to you. (I don't know whether they are even true, but they paint a different picture from the headlines.)
